“Hello everyone. I will take the opportunity to ask you to vote for Rita Tamašunienė in a one-member constituency. Why am I doing this? Because this is the person who constantly reminded us of the problems on our road in the Vilnius district. Employees Thanks to your efforts, today we have some asphalt. Free political advertising “, – S.Svvernelė shared this message in the closed group” Upės slėnis “on Tuesday.

However, someone from the group made this publication public and it began to spread at lightning speed on the social network.
The file denies the repeated statement by Prime Minister S.Svvernelis that he knew nothing about the plans to pave Up las Street where he lived and did not speak to anyone about it.
Could such a resignation of S. Skvernel just days before the election affect voters’ confidence in S. Skvernel?
“I would see this situation as sliding on a level surface”, 15 minutes said Matas Baltrukevičius, associate analyst at the Vilnius Institute for Political Analysis. – It has been a long time since the first facts came out. Finally, with the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, for many these issues became secondary. And now, in a completely equal place, S. Skvernel’s wife reminded everyone of this story. “

According to the political scientist, it should not have been difficult to develop a strategy so that no one developed these issues further before the elections.
“It just came to our attention then.” Valstiečiai “does not have a candidate in the Vilnius district, and it is natural that they support some candidate. However, this is one thing, and in this case we are already talking about something completely different when such a specific merit is attributed to him ”, said the interlocutor.
M. Baltrukevičius emphasized that the Lithuanian Green and Peasants Union (LVŽS), like other parties, has its own extremely loyal group of voters, whose opinion scandals do not work much.
The political scientist is convinced that the statement by S. Skvernelė will not significantly change the mood of the voters.
M. Baltrukevičius emphasized that S. Skvernelė’s statement is distributed mainly on Facebook by people who did not support the Prime Minister anyway.
“This may affect the popularity of the party, but in the current situation, I do not think that the voters are the most important factor in deciding whether to support the ‘campesinos’ or not, for those who think so,” he emphasized.
The LLRA won’t hurt
Governors, according to the interlocutor, should be more concerned about the situation with COVID-19.
“In absolute numbers, you can juggle in every way, and our hospitals have no way to break. However, if efforts are made to protect the economy without quarantine, the large number of people in isolation has a huge impact: no all people can work, ”he said.
Evaluating the history of the asphalt in Upės Street in the image of S. Skvernelis, the interlocutor assured that such things could have crossed the confidence in the Prime Minister, but if the Polish Lithuanian Party crossed with difficulty.
“When evaluating this scandal from the perspective of the Polish Lithuanian electoral campaign, the Union of Christian Families, was one of the many stories of that period, it can be said that its voters hardly live in the field of Lithuanian information, perhaps more in Russia. As a result, this party can afford to ignore such things, “he emphasized.

Until now, Prime Minister S. Skvernelis had categorically answered questions about Upės Street, that he knew nothing about it.
“The government’s decisions were made without a specific path, so I didn’t really know what funds and who is paving what, these are the decisions of the Vilnius City Council,” he told reporters last December before leaving the press conference.
“The active community contributed with their actions, at their expense, to begin the repair of the road that 5 towns have been waiting for 30 years. I will not intervene, I will not intervene and I will not intervene ”, – the Prime Minister told reporters at a similar time that he does not know anything about paving streets.
The Prime Minister has repeatedly said that he did not discuss it not only with the Minister of Transport and Communications Jaroslav Narkevičius, but also with his predecessor Rokas Masiulis.
L.TRA-KŠS, as R.Tamašunienė belonging to J.Narkevičius, has not been mentioned in this story until now.
On Wednesday, R.Tamašunienė told reporters that he had not contacted Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis and his wife about the paving of the street where they live, but had contacted the Vilnius District Municipality and the Highway Administration from Lithuania.
